To all whom it ma concern Be it known t at, l, ARTHUR H. 500%, a citizen of the United. States, and a, resident of Oak Lace, county of Philadelphia, t of Penusylvanio, have invented iii l mp1 ment in (lombs, of which the follow ng specification.

My invention has ieiei'ezzce to combs sud consists of certain improvements fully set forih in the following spcciiicstios. and shown in the accompanying drawings, which form a part thereof.

The object of my invention is to provide on ineiitoensivo sanitary comb which may be employed in public levo'toi'ies for l f the heir end to avoid the necessity he no us comb which had been viousiy employed by other persons, seen customary.

-e above objects, it necshall be so cheaply made rows away or destroyed being used and consequently it is esmanufacture of such d to minimum. therefor-o, primarily soils of manufacture, a ll on exceehng y low cost to be used t 1 article in public la /stories, "911E011 is ei'eirtheless useful as pro reasonably dui'al'ile c cd; :1 low those who cannot oil the more expensive articles now upon the market.

l have found by experiment that satisa cosy comb be produced 1 10313. pcpiei imich or other po er cord of suitable thick-- ll Woe-r. ore, elem-led out and ties-tell \E 1th 'JilLllil and consoled.

in carrying my invention, I employ suitable dies i01- stainping out a comb fro-iii :2 sheet of l n: gmpie'anzicli, cord, or per evil-board or any suitable formation 5 u g o, dense structure which is coated with a mush. preferably of shellac and alcohol with a coloring mutter, preliminary to the action of the dies, the shellac costing thus provided, giving to the pzipor comb aiiue outer gloss and an exceedingly smooth finish in all parts after densificzitioii by the dies.

In cases Where the comb is required to iii-re exceedingly line teeth, l find ZHOXfi "-m'euicn to secure this result by blanking out combs with the teeth Wider apart and hen securing two of sucii bloncs with the teeth n staggered stioii.

, to the ebov desired, two thinner comb blanks may be secured together to produce the desired th ckness, and if preferred, the said blanks so y be subjected. to the coating material .osiy to being united.

im'ezitiou comprehends, in addition features, details of construction which Will be better understood by ref crimes to the drawings, in whicht- Figure 1 is a plan View illustrating a comb blanked out of a sheet of paper board; F 2 is a cross section of the some on line Fig. 3 is a cross section. of the comb and dies; Fig. l is an enlarged cross sec tion of e portion. of the comb after leaving the dies; 5 is on end View illustrating the formation of the comb in two-ply; Fig. 6 is a. cross section of a two'ply structure costediu voiinish or shellac composition; and Fig. 7 i an elevation of a portion of a two-ply comb illustrating the mode of securlog closely arranged teeth therein.

2 is'e ship or sheet of paper board oi'czirdboard formed of papier-mich or of superimposed and densified layers of paper hovlug greet tensile strength, and preferably such 2: is formed by the crossing of the liber of paper in the several layers. This strip OE sheet 2 is then placed between suitable dies and a black in the shape of a. tooth comb is cut therefrom, as more clearly inlooted in 2. The blanked out portion is of any thickness desired.

To give the comb a higher finish, it may e dipped in a quick drying varnish com- .osed of alcohol and shellac, or instead of such varnish, any other veinish may be employed which will provide a, smooth suricace which shall be hard when dry, and especially which shall be pi'oof against moisture. The comb so varnished may be used its viil'l llSlled ioi'uuor preferably, it be subjected to the action of bui'nishing dies, as indicated in Fig. 3, in which 5 represents the dies, 3 "the blanked out comb of paper, and i the varnished or coating materizil. If this varnish is put on in a reosonably thin solution, such as by dipping the comb into it and then allowed to dry, the construction of the surface in the finished article will be as indicated in Fig. 4-, in which the outer surface will be of highly polished construction resembling hard rubber and all edges will be highly -finished. Furthermore, the extreme end of title teeth of the comb, as well as the lateral has comb the c nf that the 1 allfi.
